Records are graded under a bright halogen lamp. As most serious record collectors know, this shows every detail, better even than natural sunlight, so rest assured that records will not be over-graded. Where any doubt exists, records are play tested with a high quality turntable/cartridge.
All items are from an extensive private collection (in a non-smoking home). I have been collecting records for over 50 years and go by the "Record Collector" grading system. As I need to "thin out" my collection, I will be listing a lot of very rare and collectible records in the coming weeks / months so check back regularly. All have been extremely well looked after and played infrequently on a high quality turntable. Covers have been protected in 400g polythene sleeves (and will be shipped in one).
I will always attempt to mention any defects. However please look at the photographs carefully to have a clearer idea of the record's condition. Returns will only be accepted in the unlikely event that the item is not as described. Will be carefully packaged in high quality "cruciform" custom mailers and marked "Fragile - Please Do Not Bend". Records and inner sleeves will be packed outside the main cover to avoid ringwear damage in transit.
I sometimes re-use quality packaging materials to reduce costs and help the environment.
Buy more than one item and save with combined postage. However, in this case, please wait for a combined invoice before making payment. Two or three records can usually post for the same cost as one. Please note: I will not profit on postage costs and do not add charges for packaging.
Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
